I bought a Roland GA212 to use w/a GR55. I also bought the foot pedal for it. The amp has 2 FX loops & 4 channels.It sounds so good I use it for everything @ home. Coupled w/the PXL-PRO I have unlimited options & thanks to you it almost all makes sense. Thanks again for you vidoes.-JB
Great, thanks again... I am happy it is working out for you!
Ohh a Shimverb. I have one of those. It's ok. The best Mooer pedals imho are the ElecLady flanger and the Reecho delay.
Note to self: at around 21.00 is when he actually explains things that are useful for me to return to (because I will forget). Aber wirklich! :D
You're a strange,but very knowledgeable dude, w/the best equipment collection I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing both.I got my PXL-Pro (new) for $165 & free shipping on Ebay. Thanks Again!-JB
This has not kept up with my growing needs. I have 12 efx boxes. I do NOT own a switcher/programmable device. I'd like one, but allowing for more than 8 loops. After weeding out a few self noisy ones I have about 12 left. Only 6 of my effects have midi. Only six are stereo. The joyo is not the solution for me. If I use some of these in series with the Joyo I am unable to midi control my "external" devices.
Let me share my experience with triggers and switching of A/B channels on Joyo D-Seed. I solved issue with reverse polarity after turn off/on of PXL PRO (saved set up in banks completely reversed). At the first you need to set a correct D-Seed polarity (effect is on). Once you turn on whole pedal board your PXL is in bypass mode and D-Seed A/B switcher is on - you need manually turn off A/B switcher. Then hit any bank (A-D) and your saved set up is "YES" available...hope that helps you guys !!!
Okay, around 21-22 minutes, found the trigger info I think I needed to get the triggers working with the external switching jacks on a Mesa Triple Rectifier. Nice work!
It was worth every single minute watching your tutorials about the joyo PXL. Everything was well explained and there is no doubts. I leaned a lot today watching your tutorials, in fact I want to keep watching more because I am learning fast and not just learning, I mean understanding the concept for every single function. Thank you very much for these tutorials, there were a blessing for me and I am going to get my gear ready. Side note: you are a funny guy lol. I enjoyed every video. I will be following to keep learning. Thanks
Hi Stratoca, I cannot answer to your post for some reason...
I don't know how the DD20 works, but if you use the triggers to switch bank UP and Down, then it will be hard to switch to a specific bank since the PXL is sending a trigger signal every time you switch to a specific preset... I don't think you can use that to just to a concrete bank on the DD20.
Is that got anything to do with the polarity? I'm quit new to this thing and haven't understood the 4 different trigger functions...
stratoca it shouldn't have anything to do with the polarity... play around with it and see if that changes anything.
EytschPi42 Thank you so much for your support!!!
Im wondering if I have the PLX-PRO but im running into an amp with no FX loop, seems like the pedals on the left side (Loop 2) are not working if they are not in an FX loop, am I right?
Wondering if you managed to get this sorted? Thinking of buying one soon. Sorry I know this video is 5 years old.
Dude, I should be paying you tuition, I learn a shit ton with you! just bought it to switch my Mark V 25 channels and control my pedals with it. Thanks for taking the time to teach electronic illiterates like me!
Can you switch your Mark V25 channels and add pedal effects with the PXL looper? Like for example, going from your clean V 25 channel + a chorus, to your distorted V 25 Channel + a delay? All that in just one foot step?
@@leonemesis87 yes, you just have to use one of the trigger switches of the pxl pro to change the amp channel and the loop you want to add the effect. I suggest using an insert cable to be able to switch back and forth the Mark V25. It a TRS cable splitting into 2 mono TS.
@@Cocolia3 Great. I have a EVH 5150. I guess with one single 1/4” plug I can switch channels in the PXL.
Thank you Henning for this wonderfully helpful video! You convinced me to purchase the JOYO PXL Pro and I couldn't be happier with it!
Jonas... I cannot directly answer you... write me an eMail to Henning@henningpauly,com
I wish there was an on board tuner..but still cool.
good afternoon, congratulations on the video. I'm a guitar player from Brazil. can you explain how to use stereo delay using boogie table drive, usansdo delay in pxlpro loop 2 in send boogie table return ?? I have a new delay tc electronic red delay, unfortunately using in mono. how to use a stereo delay? I await your return. thank you so much.
Hi EytschPi42!!! It's me again!!! I have a doubt on the effect chain in the looper. Is there a proper order or can I program to put a compressor after the Od and on another preset before the Od, despite of where the compressor is connected to the looper? I hope I'm not making things to complicate!!! :)
Hey man! just a quick question because i'm confused... In case my amp doesn't have an fx loop can I use all the 8 loops in front of the amp?
Dimitris Kolimvanos Yes. You would run all 8 pedals in their loops and just go out of “loop 2 out” of the looper into the front of your amp as normal. Hope this helps. I just realized you asked this question 3 years ago
@@kentwyngaard8803 I just was looking for this answer and you HELPED me instead! Thanks from the future!
@@JazzfireflyNZ Hey no worries. Im still using mine today. Zero issues so far. Bought it in 2020. Sometimes there are pops when switching presets but I noticed that it only happens when using Boss pedals (my RV6 in particular) with cheaper cables. But that’s about the only issue I ever experienced on this. Solid unit. You won’t regret it
well if your coffee machine is activated by 1/4" trigger out
Excellent video and very detail!
What pedal board is that? I want to buy a pedal board for my joyo pxlpro but im not sure which to buy cause im afraid itd be too short...
It is the Joyo PB-B... but all you need is a board that is at least 56 cm wide... so get one that's 60 and you're good!
Do you know what the trigger out voltage is? I'm toying with using a trigger out to switch on a clean booster in front of the switcher.
I just ordered one of these, but I have one question. I know you've probably answered this already, but it's the one thing I'm still confused on: I have an EVH 5150 head that has a clean, a crunch, an overdrive channel, and effects loop that are all controlled with the included footswitch. Would all 4 triggers correspond to each of those functions or how would you go about programming that?
You have an awesome cave...you are hilarious! Thank you for all your helpful videos...I am getting the Joyo PXL-Pro, in part thanks to you. :)
Rob Staple Cool... you are welcome !
Are you able to plug an amp's effect (tremolo, in my case) into the input channel to control that effect?
Hi Stratoca, no, you cannot change the order with the looper, the order is determined by where you connect the pedals. The position is fixed.
Thank you, once again!!!
Can someone PLEASE tell me if I can use 1 pedal for more than 1 trigger? Like if I want my reverb for every trigger or if I want my 1 distortion pedal for more than 1 trigger? Or am I stuck using lets say the distortion, reverb and delay for 1 trigger then I cant use the distortion for any other triggers?
Hi EyschPi42, thanks for your informative videos. Have been watching this product on the market for some time and ordered one after watching THIS video which convinced me that this is the pedal switcher for me. Received it last week shipped to Singapore and I am more confident in programming PXL-Pro after watching your video. Got it up and running easily following your instructions. For second loop (since I only have entry level amp), I used the MOEN Buffalo pedal amp simulator with DI which activated the 2nd loop. (I believe a JOYO American/British/ Vox sound pedal should also do the trick.. I will try soon). Many thanks and keep on pumping out those videos ! Love your studio and guitars !
thanks man!
so with the triggers, if i wanted to use this amp with a hand wired AC30, which has 4 channels but no switching (you have to manually plug in 1/4 cable) could i conceivably run 1 cable from each trigger output on the PXL to each channel input on the ac30 and then select the channel from the channel switcher?
If all your Loops are going through the front of the amp what does your cable to the amp go into plx live
Gus Gazetas You would go out of “loop 2 out” from the looper into the front of of your amp
Thanks for that. So basically the order you put them in the looper is the order they'll play. Got it. Thanks. Not sure it's worth paying the extra money. Cheaper to just get another booster. One in front of the drive for that extra boost and one at the end for just a volume boost. Thanks for your help dude. Even though you appear like a lunatic you know your stuff. Keep the vids coming.
Boss ES-8 is the one to get.
I run a comp before a hi-gain OD as a sustain boost and a low-gain OD after that as a volume boost, another comp would achieve the same. I agree, might as well grab an RC Booster and/or a comp and use those.
you talked about channel and effects switching using triggers, but only talked about footswitches with a proprietary or stereo jacks. Can you get the triggers to work for Channel and Effects on a Fender SuperChamp XD. It uses a mono cable between the footswitch and amp.
I almost want to skip this video in the series because I am almost certain I'm gonna end up going with the PXL-Live, but these videos have been so full of information that I feel like skipping would be a disservice to the knowledge you've acquired about these switchers.
Was really tempted to buy this one right up until it came to the programming. Too much switching. Personally the GEC9 version 2 gets my vote just for the ease.
Why spend time saying to viewers to go somewhere else if don't have time. We clicked and we can see the lenght. Don't try to be funny with your stupid comments. Good information on gear anyway.
Can you change the polarity of the tuner MUTE? So ONE push muted and TWO pushes audible? Instead of the other way around?
"From a very eXotic company" best guitar gear pun I've ever heard >.
Love your videos, I,m fallin off my chair laughing, but still being informed!!! Your my Hero!
Do the pedals go in a sequence? For example does high#1 got before high#2? Or High#3 got before Low#3?
Does this switcher store individual pedal's parameters? For instance, if i want a certain delay functions like time and repeat in first switch and different values of time and repeat in the second switch or do I have to change the functions manually? If not then is there any other switcher which will have these function?
No... how would that work? No switcher can do that!
Your beautifully nuts, thanks for the video, hope JOYO is paying you this
i need to know if connected the 2 loops way (distortions to front amp - modulations to amp looper) is still capable of select some effects from looper amp and some effects from front amp... i eman i want certain presets with reverb in amp loop and distortion, wah, etc in front of amp... is possible??? many many many thanks!
Yeah man that is my exact query. Did you ever figure it out?
I came here to learn. But it was nice to also laugh my ass off. Thank you 😂😂🙏🏽
I have a black star amp with a five-way foot switch can I use the triggers to set that up with the PX l pro
Hey, how was connected to carl martin to joyo? I dont understand, how was connected this device?
It's on the cable returning to the amp (via effects loop return) and is controlled via trigger/channel switching control option of the joyo as the Carl Martin has remote controls.
all cool. 1 stupid question. does the order you click the switch for the preset determine the order they run?so if I click drive 1st then click boost 2nd that's the order they run. or visa versa boost clicked 1st then drive?? obviously that would be handy as I can either use boost pedal for purely volume or run the other way to boost drive pedal. other than that all made perfect sense. thanks
+Michael Ioannis NO, there are very few loopers that let you change the pedal order... the cheapest one would be the BOSS ES-8, which clocks in at almost 700 Euro
I just watch your videos because you’re hilarious and so entertaining. The humour is the best part and so much knowledge. Stay funny please
One more think, whit this device can i put all my pedals in front of the amp? if i cant, where i put the compressor because i have 5 pedal that i want in front of the amp, sorry i dont understand the english in this part ;) i speak spanish., Gracias!
Erwin Vanegas Serrano Yes, you can have either two loops of 4 or one loop of 8, not a problem, you just go into LOOP 1 IN and out of LOOP 2 OUT.... and then you just have one 8 pedal loop....
I have a question on joyo pxl live .I have a fender hot rod Deluxe 2017 the pedal switch it came with has a mono cable with 2 switches channel switch and more drive can I control it with pxl live if so how would I do it
If so what's the process you can email me at gbfat@aol.com
Can this looper change the volume of a single effect? I'm looking for a device to equalize the volume of the effects, because now I have different ones.
No
Joyo pxl pro can Change channel on Marshal dsl20hr ?
Hello EytschPi42!
I have a Randall RD100 amp head which have a 6-pin din connector for the footswitch.
The amp has 3 channels and a boost which can be added to any of the channels.
The footswitch have 4 switches: Clean, Gain 1, Gain 2, Boost.
Is it possible to solder a cable with 6 pin din connector to four 1/4 inch jacks to control each channel and the boost of my amp with the trigger outs on the PXL PRO?
Hope you still monitor these video comments. GREAT vids BTW!!!! Thanks! OK, I have the Pro. Easy enough. No issues programming the LOW side. 1 2 3 NP. BUT, I get nothing out of the HI side! Like it's in bi-pass. Just amp sound. I can program it fine, choose pedals, etc. But the pedals have zero effect. SO to verify it's not a pedal or cable issue, I switched 2 pedals using same cables, one from LO over to HI, with one that was in HI. Now the pedal that was in LO does not work. But pedal that was in HI works fine. I'm not using effects loop. So all 8 are in line.
Hi I have a mark 5 25 mesa, would it be possible to change the channel and eq with the Joyo Looper? Cheers
+Bradley Overton Yes, you only need two switching functions... but you need an INSERT cable since the Mark V has a TRS input and the PRO or the LIVE mono trigger outs...
+EytschPi42 thank you
I've got a question. I own a bugera trirec and a PXL pro. I want the triggers to change the amp channel. I have the triggers set to normally off and momentary. Channel A turns trigger 1 on en Channel B turns trigger 2 on. But when I switch from A to B, trigger 1 is also sending a pulse. When on channel B and I switch to channel A also trigger 2 is sending a pulse. So the joyo is sending 2 signals and the amp won't switch channels. I've discoverd this using a multimeter. Is this a normal thing to do for the joyo? Maybe can you test your own joyo with a multimeter to check this out. I don't know if I have to get a new one or not.
Hello from Christchurch New Zealand! I have a question about the PXL Pro and the Boss Katana Head. Do you know if you can use the trigger outs to switch channels on the Katana Head? I'm trying to avoid buying the Boss foot switch if I can use my PXL Pro. Any help would be appreciated!
Can anyone think of a way that I could combine some of loop 1's effects loops with loop 2's effects loop? Basically, I only have a couple of pedals to go in the amp's effects loop, and I'd like to use loop 2's other send/return units for in front of the amp. There must be some way of doing this. (Hope this comment makes sense)
Thanks for all of this info! I wonder....If you would want to put all 8 looped pedals through the front of the amp, would you just attach a patch cable from Loop 1 out to Loop 2 in? Then, go out of Loop 2 out into amp. Is this possible? Thanks!
Hello! I just got the pxl pro and indeed it's kind of complicated. I have a question for you based on what you did with your reverb. I have a Friedman BE OD Deluxe, is it possible to control the channels the friedman has with the pxl, or do I need to hit the friedman when I need the different channels. Thanks man!!! Great series of videos!!!
Very funny and fantastic video!!! I was wondering if you could help me understand the trigger function... I have managed to change bank with my dd20 delay but when I change program with the Joyo pxl8 pro it doesn't restore it to the original bank... Am I using the trigger input?
Hey love your channel just recently subscribed. I bought a joyo pxl pro and was lost until i saw this and now programming it it simple!!! I have a question for you. I heard you mention that you solder your own patch cables. I was just wondering what wire you used and where on the internet I can find good instrument cable wire to solder my own and what gauge I should look for thank you for any advice!! And thank you for the video for the pxl pro!!
hello sir, I have a possibly complicated question about the plx pro. I am looking to pick one up if this is possible. I want to use my amps pre amp on certain patches and on other I want to hook up one of the new Mooer micro preamp pedals in the return on the amp which as you know bypasses the amps preamp. is it possible to trigger the micro preamp whilst still having the option to use the amps gain channel as well as having effects in the loop like delay and reverb that can be programmed to either the amp preamp or the Mooer micro preamp? looking to utilize the Mooer black night micro preamp 009. does this make any kind of sense? cheers.
Thanks a lot for the explanation man, i wouldn't have been able to set it up without your advice. Just a question though: I have a noise gate (ISP Decimator G-String II) on Loop 2 which is going through the FX Loop of my amp, but it doesn't silence all the noise. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks a lot!
Hi, is it possible to use 3 différent amps with it?
If I wanted to have a compressor pedal on the whole time can I connect guitar to in of compressor pedal then out to the joyo? Thanks
Yes
Hi there i have a 7 pin din foot switch connector at back of my amp as u mention we need to custom made . So my question is do i have to make 7 pin in cable to two 1/4 inch jack or one ? And could u send me a link if i can buy online . I am stuck bcoz of this 7 pin cable
Thank God for this video. The "manual" for this piece of gear isn't really useful at all. You have shown me that yes! I can program a patch that uses one switch to change effects in the amp loop and in front of the amp at the same time! I was worried that I couldn't do this. You are the best.
Hey
Have you heard of or experienced any issues using these Joyo loopers with MXR pedals? One guy on Amazon is claiming that the buffered bypass on the Joyo unit does not work well with MXR pedals.
i have a query about this, i play 2 full stacks n i send some fx to both some to each, so what i was thinkn was using the pro in dual 4 mode, but say ex loop 4 send from group 1 into loop 2 return and send the loop outs to each stack, so if i want somthin to go to both i turn 4 on and it sends to both stacks... do you think thatll work?
Does anybody know if I can program the PXL Pro to switch a Marshall JVM210H? without going to the midi route
Absolutely Enjoy all your video's. First and Foremost great job on explaining the PLX 8 Pro. I'm a more hands-on learning type of person and between this video and a notepad and a pen, I feel very confident I can set this board up with no issues at all. I actually watch your video's because you get to the point rather than "TALK" too much. So I have no idea what others are saying about that topic. All I know is you have helped me tremendously and it does not go unappreciated, so THANK YOU. I'm playing through a custom 68 Fender Twin (Silverface). Using it as a clean amp I will run all effects before the amp. I plan on using the PXL 8 as a dual 4loop. With L1-L4 (loops1-4) dirty channels then Loop1 OUT to Volume Pedal then return to loop2 IN, through H1-H4, then loop2 OUT to A/B switcher to my 2-channel 68 custom Fender twin. I will Also be utilizing triggers 1&2 to turn on/off the reverb/tremolo built into the 68 custom. "Viola" the mystical & magical insert cable you spoke off (Thanks so much that really helped a lot). You made it so simple. Dirty Channel (L1-L4) consist of; WamplerTumnus Mini (using as clean boost), Wampler Tumnus Deluxe, Wampler Paisley Drive Deluxe which consist of The Under Dog, and the Paisley Drive. Modulation Channel (H1-H4) consist of; Phase 90, Corona Chorus, Vortex Flanger, Flashback Delay. Coming out of my Audio Technica wireless StompBox are the pedals before the switcher, Wampler Ego Mini Compressor, Wample Db+ W/Buffer, Tube Screamer Mini, Nano Big Muff. Then to Input on the PLX 8. Let me know what you think.
thanks for the vid. I need help. I have a two channel amp and a 4 channel preamp unit that has midi switching. Currently i run this into my amp's parallel return and use an A/B switch to switch between them and then either the amp's channel switch pedal or the preamp unit's switch pedal. then pedals. will this do all of that?
can i use more than one? two joyo looper on the same time?
Hi there. It's very well explained. Thanks. I just have a doubt: the D-Seed Delay is connected to the trigger through the external switch input from this one... can you switch off the delay and still keep the trail/carryover?
Eytsch, I have a burning question that I can't figure out and I Ned your help. I have a Peavey 3120 head with a 7pin foots witch cable. I can't find any adapters to use to connect my amps channels to the plx8 pro. Do you know if someone makes an adapter or what I could do to make it work? Thanks for all the informative videos.
MrRich6505 Hi, yo'll have to find out how the 7 pin footswitch is wired, Peavey might help with that, and then create a breakout cable that splits the 7 pin DIN cable into 4 mono 1/4 inch... I mam sure there are many electricians or amp repair guys who can build this.
EytschPi42 sorry, totally missed where you explained the answer to my question in detail. I hate when people do that..... I hate myself.
This is great... Bob Bradshaw was charging tens of thousands of dollars for his similar custom rack switching systems back in the 80's.
i like your place, can i come and take something? No need to hurt anyone if you are good! hahhahahah just kiddin, you are great, good and very funny, thanks for your job
Where in the signal chain do i put the Volume pedal if i have one and how would the connection look like?
it can go in front of the looper (volume will effect your drives and therefore the gain) or behind, where it just does volume... you could even put it in a loop to turn it on and off...
If I understood correctly !!! Using a ABY pedal is not an option if you use the FX Loop ???
Hi there, I just bought a keeley darkside pedal, would it work well in the pxl pro, since it has a fuzz?
I just stumbled upon this. Excellent tutorial - thank you! In my personal quest for rig problem solving I throw this question/scenario to you:
I play a 2 amp live setup. I understand the concept of effects in front and effects in the loop. I would like to integrate a Rocktron Intellipitch into my effects rig, primarily using the pitch-shifting effects. I would loop this into the effects loop of the amps, splitting left and right to each amp, using with the other clean effects.
The switcher questions I have are these:
Are these two loops in series or are they parallel with each other?
If I put the Rocktron in the loop, would you recommend using it like your Carl Martin reverb, or split it to, for example, L5 and L6?
Could anyone tell me besides the looper function, can I use the PXL-PRO (or PXL8) for switching between two amps like an A/B Box?
zifirblues PXL Pro.-... you can mis-use the Tuner out as a second output... but then without pedals...
EytschPi42
How about connecting input-1 and input-2 of the amp (talking about fender twin) to the send & return of a loop on the PXL? I guess it may work, the only drawback is we would sacrifice a loop channel for each amp.
Hey man great video! How would i set the triggers if the amp has 3 channels and I want to get from clean (channel 1) to high overdrive (channel 3)?
Alex Lescionok I depends on what amp you have and what the footswitch inputs on the amp look like... I need to know more !
I've got a marshall vs100, the footswitch on the back of the amp is connected with a 1/4 inch cable. I've never owned a footswitch for it but from what I've seen it tends to be either a 2 or 3 button footswitch for clean / overdrive1&2 or clean / overdrive 1&2 / reverb
nice vid. keep them coming. when you put the looper in to bypass is the signal buffered or straight through?
Hi, Hope you can help me ... you seem to be the world no1 expert on the pxl pro! I just bought one and it arrived today. It worked fine for about an hour but now seems to be frozen with mute, tuner and all the send/return lights stuck on. I can't get anything out of it what ever I plug in or out and it's the same if unplug power (from voodoo lap power plus2) ... just seems frozen. am I missing something - can I reset it ... any clues ... it was awesome up till that point!? help me pleeeease dude!
I never had one frozen, so I have no idea what that could be, sorry.
Thanks for replying - I think it might be lack of power - I thought my voodoo power would be enough but it doesn’t deliver 500ma per output. Weird that it worked for a bit ... buying a dedicated power supply today .. fingers crossed.
dedicated power supply sorted it ... voodoo labs doesn't deliver 500ma from any of its outputs. Weird that it worked for an hour .. maybe held residual power in internal battery? anyway ... all fixed and well pleased!@@EytschPi42
I'm an happy possessor of an EVH 5150 iii 50watt and the footswtich for that particular amp has four switch on it channel 1 , 2 , 3, and effects loop on/off. In the video you showed some footswtich but were all with two switches. In my case can i recall with different settings all of the four switches or at least three of them leaving the loop always on ?
thank you ;)
Vichingo Folk The PRO can switch 4 different functions.... but doesn't the 50 Watt EVH also have a MIDI input? IN that case you could use the PXL Live and just switch it with MIDI !
I also have the EVH 5150 iii. My question is similar. I have the pxl pro.. If i want to just switch between channel 1 and chanel 3.. and leave the effects loop permanently engaged. How many cables do I need plugged into the trigger outputs?
The evh has one single 1/4 inch cable between the footswitch input and the evh footswitch
Hi EytschPi! I have a 2 channel amp, clean/dirty. No reverb or anything else. It has a stereo 1/4 foot switch input. Will I need an insert cable or just a trs to mono cable?
Mono cable works, but you will only have one of the switching functions and which one... I don't know.... insert cable gives you more options and you have access to both switches....
I'm not sure if you can answer this question but I have a Jet City JCA100HDM and the effects loop runs at line level, or +4dbu where as stomp pedals usually are instrument level -10 would something like this convert that signal properly so I can use stomp pedals in the loop instead of rack fx?
no, it wouldn't convert the levels, but I would just use stomp boxes in the loop anyway... a student of mine has that amp and it works fine...
Hey man great vids!… very helpful, (sorry my english, i speak spanish) i have a question cause i need help. i have 2 pedals that have 2 switch (exotic fx BB preamp plus…. Vox Satchurator) just like the Jetter Gold, and i really LOVE the sound i get with these two pedals, but the question is, can i control the 4 switches with the PXL Pro? cause both of those pedals have only 1 output, or i need to be slave to switch to the B sound of those pedals anytime i need them? or just the way you use it? both channels active all the time? can this be done? control 4 channels separately?
no, you cannot control all four channels... you'll operate the pedals as usual, but you activate or reactive the loop they are in... once the loop is active, you pick how you want to use your pedal... or switch it before the song.... you can only activate the loop, but not do anything on the pedal!
man.. that's alotta wires..
Hello, and sorry if this is a stupid question, but I have a EHX ring thing (with 9 presets) and I was wondering if the PXL Pro would allow me to store different presents of the EHX RT into different presets of the looper ? More generally, how does the PXL Pro handle multi-presets pedals ? Thanks in advance for your answer...
+alev guran not Henning but I can try to answer your question. Normally the looper doesn't do anything to your pedals; it just decides when to run the signal through it and when to bypass it depending on the preset. The trigger outputs however can send an ON/OFF signal to anything that is connected. They can switch the channel on your amp or, if you pedal supports it, trigger a behaviour in your pedal. The PXL doesn't know your pedal, it can only provide ON/OFF signals. To know if you can remote control your pedal with it, you should look up the behavior of external switches in you pedal's manual.
Thanks dude for the awesome explanation of these different looper pedals. I almost bought the newer PXL-PRO then I saw this video (link below) of guy mentioning of POPING of switches. Does it really POP like this or at least did your demo pedal POPPED like the video? Please demystify...! As always thanks for all the wonderful demos with humor!!!
Joyo pxl pro pops - homemade pedalboard
Hi, the popping has more to do with the pedals that are in the loops then the looper... the looper does not generate the pop... none of mine do... but if you use a pedal that pops... I have several of those... the loop will also pop when engaged.
Awesome and highly entertaining video! Had me cracking up lol....I just got one of these and am about to set it up and had a general question about the loop sections 1 and 2...Am I right in assuming that there are ONLY two ways of effectively dividing up your pedals , if you have an amp with an FX loop...1. all 8 into either the front of the amp OR all 8 into the FX loop or 2. 4 into the front of the amp and 4 into the FX loop? In other words , if you have , say , 5 pedals that would be better off in front of the amp and only 3 that would be better off in the FX loop you are basically SOL? :) ...It has to be 4 into one, 4 into the other?
Yes, you are correct... this is how most Loopers work. With the MOEN Loopers you have a bit more flexibility when it comes to routing, but they are limiting in other ways... each company has their own philosophy... You could have two pedals share a loop if your really need five in front and the manually switch between those two that are in the same loop, I have done that quite a bit...
Are the plugs on the back of the unit so close that pancake cables won't fit?
Hi, you're the best!!
I have a Carvin V3 amp that has 5 din pedal 3 Ch and boost. I just bought the PXL pro, what is your opinion, should I get a " Breakout cable made or return the pro and buy the pro- Live?? The Pro that you are, do would perform with a pedal controller?
Thanks JImmy
I would ONLY play with a looper... everything else is a hassle. If the Carvin has MIDI I would get the Live, otherwise I would get the breakout cable!
Dude you are a funny guy. The dancing at the end was hysterical
Thanks for the laugh - oh and the great tutorial - I have just ordered one so BE PREPARED for an onslaught of questions.
Remember to answer all questions quickly and efficiently as that is what you NOT paid for
Keep rocking bud
Conrad Kriel Keep the questions coming... and then give me some time !
Thanks for helping me figure this thing out. So far so good😃
The trigger and effects loop function have me sold on the Pro. This would stop me from doing the 'turn off chorus, turn on the delay the same time I kick in the clean boost to drive channel 2 with reverb' dance...
Yep, this should put an end to that !
Hello, I want to know what pedalboard is? Thanks
Erwin Vanegas Serrano Hi, the pedalboard is a Joyo PB-B
Excellent video. I went from knowing nothing about looper switchers, to... well understanding a lot more! One question (sorry if you brought it up), can I have separate presets where preset A has loops in front of the amp and in the effects loop, while preset B has all 8 pedals in front?
no, that is defined by how you wire it!
Got it, thanks!
+Matthieu R if that was really essential to you, the only switcher I know that can do that is the gigrigG2
heh, great vid... (subbed) I'm waiting for mine, just ordered it today.
also can you use the trigger outputs to select a completely different amplifier all together, so in essence use the same board on 2 separate amps without having to manually unplug one amp and plug in the other?
Nicholas Anhalt Hey Nicholas... you are misunderstanding what the trigger outs do. They are not audio outputs... they are SWITCH outputs... if your amp has a footswitch input, you can connect it to the trigger out and then switch your amp remotely from the PXL and include it into a program with a different pedal combination. It is not an audio out. Check out my video for the Carl Martin Octaswitch, I used the loop outs as different outputs to go to separate amps... you might be able to do the same with the PXL, but you're losing a loop for each amp out you want to have...
hi, do you still need to use a buffer pedal for this? thanks!
